Detailed Description
A full-body, front-facing depiction of a stout man seated and hunched over a large, shallow red bowl. He holds the bowl with both hands, positioned directly in front of his face, and looks down into the pale yellow liquid it contains. Concentric rings are visible on the surface of the liquid. The man has a dark mustache and a short, dark beard. His dark hair is pulled into a topknot, with a light blue patch visible on his scalp. His skin is light-toned, with reddish accents on his face and hands. He wears a dark gray or black outer garment with a lighter gray grid pattern, over a light blue undergarment visible on his arms and chest. Dark gray or black clothing covers his lower body. A sword hilt with gold and blue details protrudes from behind his left shoulder. Another sword, with a gold and purple hilt and scabbard, lies on the ground near his right leg. The background is a plain, light gray wash.
